I hope this catches on just so people start to complain about the “Big Poop” lobby.

i think they should make acar that can take ANYthing and make it into fuel. like trash water and stuff so when u have trash in the car, well there u go! a trash can AND a fuel!!! 2 in 1! (im so wierd….. DONT MIND THS COMMENT GUYS!!) 😐 *how embarising*

Like the time machine in Back to the Future after Doc Brown upgrades it.

The problem is density. Fire/combustion converts most things into energy, but a bag of coal or a barrel of oil gets you a lot more than a comparable volume of whatever you have in your trash can. But still, I wonder if it's possible, in principal, to build an engine that could convert whatever you put into it, so that fuel sources could be 100% flexible.

“70 homes would generate enough gas to run the car for 10,000 miles” makes no sense. 70 homes over what period? A week, a year, what?

Don't let the Americans see this! I really works! A pig farmer in Ontario Canada runs his Volvo on bio-gas from his piggery! Canadians want free medical care, post secondary education, dental care just like in France! To pay for all this socialist luxury we need to sell the Saudi Arabian sized Tar Sands to the U.S.A by the barrel, at world prices! If they knew that Soar, Wave, Wind, Hydro, Tidal, Geothermal, Nuclear worked they would electrify and we would have no customer – likewise if they realized that American humanure is a rich source of methane gas when bio-gassed(richest in the world! better than Asian pigs!) Canadians would lose market as they converted to the cheaper gas! Hush this up! Keep Yankee Doodle addicted to oil! It worked for the Arabs, why not the Canadians?
